...I also went to a luncheon at the fuel distribution point here when it was finished and had an interesting conversation with an Iraqi engineer.

Him: "Are you married?"

Me: "Yes"

"What is your opinion of marriage?"

"I've been married 13 years; I don't have an opinion anymore."

"In Iraq they say a husband is like a monkey, a donkey and a dog. At first she loves you like a pet monkey, then she orders you around like you are a donkey, then you are an old dog, you bark and bark and no one listens."

"It's just like that in America too."

"Is it true in America you only marry one women?"

"Yes"

"An in America if you leave she gets half?"

"Yes"

He rolls his eyes and says "Thank God I am Iraqi."

That is so true on SOOOOOoooooo many levels.

I don't approve of how (some) Iraqis treat their women, but for a woman to divorce in an Arab or Muslim country is a major loss for them - and, gee, the women almost never file for divorce.

And here's feminist logic:

Women don't file for most divorces in the Dar al-Islam because the system is against them.

Men in the west don't do it because ... the "Patriarchy" favors them?
